The main bits are yes he should be more ruthless(DCL) nobody disputes that but staying in the middle was when he is at his best in my opinion."I don't think we created that many chances for him."
"But I do think he needs to be more ruthless, he needs to be a bit more patient and stay in the middle of the goal."
I believe that was Carlo's view on how to get the best out of him, with the midfeld getting dangersous balls into the penalty area.I read this quote from Rooney about Rashford and I think it could apply to Dom

He's too isolated as well but he just needs a goal and I'm sure confidence will return. He needs to start slotting soon to justify starting all the time.
Many days have passed since then. We no longer have someone of the quality of James to supply the chances and DCL has had several long term injuries since then so it's debatable whether he could even make the most of them now anyway.I believe that was Carlo's view on how to get the best out of him, with the midfeld getting dangersous balls into the penalty area.
As you say this is not how Dyche is setting things up. Let's hope that that he can find a way to get the goals coming again.![]()
By that token though, many days had passed prior to Carlo taking over. I agree that James was a huge attacking asset but he was only with us for one season. The factor that coincided with his improvement was Carlo and how he played him.Many days have passed since then.

The past is the past and the reality is he's not currently scoring, nor looking very likely to do so when he does get decent chances.
A back 3 (or 5) doesn't usually end well for us thoughthe attack players don't support him enough
he's isolated up top most of time trying to get something on pickfords long kicks up the pitch
something like this would probably be better for him

it seems we either stick with a solid defence and an impotent attack or we take a risk which could lead to a weaker defence but a better attackA back 3 (or 5) doesn't usually end well for us though
Not a great choice is it but we are where we are. Perhaps our manager needs to be braver in games we could win and play a back 3 or 5 and then revert to a 4 and try for a draw or nick a win in games against the better teams.it seems we either stick with a solid defence and an impotent attack or we take a risk which could lead to a weaker defence but a better attack

Dyche has to decide whether to rest DCL & try a different formation -on Saturday in a must win game - Onana has stated DCL he's a damn good midfielder in training - he at least has speed & can hold the ball up - Play Beto or Chemitti upfront & sacrifice a winger as we just don't have pace in the midfield - Playing DCL a bit deeper may work or just see if Dyche can select a winning formation - we need goals not just from set pieces - Onana they reckon is 50-50 with a slight groin strain - Gana definitely out .....
I just want Dobbin to come on instead of Ashley Young too ....
Dyche has to select a winning team on Saturday to pull us further away from relegation trouble
